Windows Installer Custom Actions

Published Wednesday, August 10, 2005 11:56 AM

I was looking for some information on how to create a virtual directory from a setup msi and I came across this excellent repository, with links on how to create the following custom actions:

  • Register Microsoft Enterprise Library Sample Custom Action DLL Written in C++
  • Check if License Text was Completely Viewed
  • Darwin Transform and Its Application in Windows Installer Custom Actions
  • Enable Setup to Take Focus
  • Attach Database with MSDE
  • List SQL Servers
  • Calling a Visual Basic ActiveX DLL as Custom Action
  • Create Virtual Directory in IIS
  • Detect File System
  • File Browse Dialog
  • Get Short Name Equivalent for Long Path
  • MTS Management
  • Register TLB File Using VBScript
  • Streaming a File From the Binary Table
  • Writing to the Installer Log File

There is also information on debugging custom actions - definitely a page to add to your bookmarks!
